    The document provides instructions for forming comparatives in English by adding suffixes to adjectives. It explains that "-er" is added to short one or two syllable adjectives and the "y" changes to "ier" for adjectives ending in "y". For adjectives ending in a vowel-consonant, the final consonant is doubled before adding "-er". Examples are given of forming comparatives and using them in sentences to compare people or things on different attributes.

    Name:

    COMPARATIVE
    To compare two people or things we add the suffix er to the end of the short adjectives (1 or 2 syllables) and then we use the word than. Fast- faster Strong- stronger

    If the adjective ends in a vowel + a consonant we double the last consonant and add -er . Fat- fatter/ Thin- thinner. If the adjective ends in y , the y goes and we add the suffix ier. Pretty- prettier Happy happier

    The comparative of good is better The comparative of bad is worse


    Make sentences using the comparative form: John : 65 kg. Marc 60 kg. (fat) (thin) . Lucy 1,55 m Ann 1,60 cm (tall) (short) .. Mary 16 years Lucy 15 years (old)

    Write the comparative form of the following adjectives: John is .than Marc (tall) Peter is than Phil (short) Mary is than Lucy (pretty) Jake is than David (fat) Amy is ..than Linda (nice) Ann is ..than John (old) Jake is .than Mike (brave) Sam is ..than Joseph (weak)

    (young) .
